Jimi Hendrix - National Anthem


_____________________________

You named it! The very best version of the Anthem...EVER!



When I got married (to my now ex-husband), we had a guitarist playing "Here Comes the Bride" in the same style that Jimi played the National Anthem. :D

What I really love to watch is AC/DC's video of Thunderstruck. That arena with the 5 story back wall full of head-banging fans is awesome. My all-time favorite music video. Got it on DVD with the rest of AC/DC's greatest hits. B|

How do I watch? Put a chair in front of my 35 inch flat screen TV and sit there with my hands over the speakers. ;) That's the best way to really appreciate the full force of the music...

I forgot to mention one of AC/DC older songs that could really be called an anthem -

Let There Be Rock

Bon Scott dressed as a priest orating to the camera and Angus Young with a halo bopping on his head. :D

The Clash was my first favorite band, one of the greatest punk bands ever.

Rock The Casbah (US troops played this over and over during Operation Desert Storm) ;)

Didn't our troops blare that song over loud-speakers to drive the enemy nuts?

They sure did! :D They also played it back in camp in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait during the ramp-up.
---------
Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin to the top
The sheik he drove his cadillac
He went a cruisin down the ville
The muezzin was a standing
On the radiator grille

Chorus
The shareef dont like it
Rockin the casbah
Rock the casbah
The shareef dont like it
Rockin the casbah
Rock the casbah

By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy casbah sound
But the bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the shareef
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

Chorus

Now over at the temple
Oh! they really pack em in
The in crowd say its cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a wiff
Of that crazy casbah jive

Chorus

The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the casbah way

As soon as the shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare

As soon as the shareef was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed

Chorus

He thinks its not kosher
Fundamentally he cant take it.
You know he really hates it.
